Toen ik nog in het hoger onderwijs werkzaam was en elke dag met de trein reisden, kreeg ik wel eens wat mee van gesprekken tussen studenten. Een daarvan is me altijd bijgebleven.

Plaats de cijfers 1 tot en met 9 zo in het diagram dat elk cijfer precies één keer voorkomt in elke rij, kolom, negen vetomrande 3x3 vakken én de vier grijze 3x3 vakken.

Lake Dunn, more commonly known as The Lake, is a freshwater lake 68km north-east of Aramac. Lake Dunn's Aboriginal name is pajingo bola, meaning "Big Fella Waterhole" and is 3.21km long and 1.6km wide. It was named after James Dunn, who was a head stockman at Mt Cornish Station and discovered it when he tracked a mob of cattle there. Lake Dunn is a birdwatchers paradise and is home to over 80 different species of birds.

The blues you can get with Pro Image 100 are probably my favorite part of using it. Even in this photo which I have chosen to have a warmer leaning look to, the blues still look fantastic, and have a nostalgic feeling to them.

Pro Image 100で撮れる青の色合いは、このフィルムを使う楽しみの中でも、特に気に入っているところです。今回の写真は少し暖色寄りの雰囲気に仕上げましたが、それでも青がとても美しく、どこか懐かしさを感じさせてくれます。

Kroger says it will cut 3,000 corporate jobs over the next three years as it expands its use of AI and other technology to streamline operations. "Technology is reshaping what's possible," CEO Greg Foran wrote in a memo to employees on Monday. "The way work gets done is changing across every industry; we must adapt and take advantage of technology. We need to adopt capabilities, reduce duplicative work and look closely at where work is best fit to be done." ABC News reports: Kroger last month outlined its AI strategy, meant "to improve the customer experience, make work easier for associates and produce better business outcomes." Cincinnati-based Kroger is the largest standalone U.S. supermarket chain with 409,000 employees and more than 2,700 stores operating under various brands, including Ralphs, King Soopers, Smith's and Fred Meyer.

Kroger named former Walmart executive Foran CEO in February, 11 months after the abrupt resignation of its previous CEO. Foran has a reputation for being tech-savvy and detail-oriented. He led Walmart's U.S. division from 2014 to 2019, where he focused on cleaning up stores, ensuring items were in stock and improving the fresh produce selection. He also introduced online ordering and pickup, and accelerated Walmart's digital capabilities.

New recruitment campaign to target adults in their 30s and 40s in bid to create 10,000 new foster care places

Viennetta Basterfield, 67, spent two decades fostering more than 100 children in her west London home before she and her husband handed in the reins during Covid.

Her own mother had died when she was nine and she was brought up by another woman who took her in. There was no doubt in her mind that she wanted to dedicate her life to passing that gift on to others.

Former investor alleges BitMEX sold products in UK despite not being regulated by Financial Conduct Authority

Lewis Barber, who is a software engineer, alleges that BitMEX offered crypto derivative products to investors in the UK, despite not being regulated or approved to do so by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Research shows that the best linguists process unfamiliar foreign speech sounds more like non-speech sounds

If you want to get really good at French, Arabic or Hungarian, don’t start with rote learning vocabulary and grammar, focus on how they sound instead, research suggests.

A new study of how humans learn modern languages has found that the brains of the most talented linguists hear foreign terms as random noise, not words.

At first glance, the structure resembles a kind of elongated igloo or a giant, white snail. One one hand, it’s an immersive, pop-up room with a futuristic, bubble-like texture. It’s also a giant, walk-in camera (there are 221 lenses to be exact).

Premiering late last month at MODE Festival, a celebration of global photography, “Compound Camera 3” is the latest work by Pneuhaus, the Rhode Island-based studio known for its large-scale, architectural inflatables. Dozens of tiny cameras comprise the installation, which covers more than 700 square feet and invites visitors to walk around inside of a projection powered entirely by the sun. The images visible through the tiny apertures land on bulbous surfaces, and visitors can push on the soft material inside to distort what Pneuhaus describes as a “bug’s-eye view” of the sky and urban surroundings.

In our era of information, it’s impossible to describe Pneuhaus’ multi-lensed work without thinking about recent, crucial conversations about surveillance, especially when it comes to license plate readers and doorbell cameras that are tethered to enormous private data networks. In this case, though, the “information” is about being present. Nothing is recorded.

In “Compound Camera 3,” visitors step inside of a luminous viewing room, but there are no LED screens here; the sunlight simply illuminates everyday scenes through an essential analog method. Lenses pointing upward portray the sky across dozens of interior facets not unlike the structure of an insect’s eye. Those directed sideways show trees, buildings, and other people walking around. Everything appears multiplied, encouraging us to slow down and examine details more closely than we might if we were seeing the same scene just outside.
